Hanks wins Herman again

Kerri Hanks is just the fourth two-time winner of the crystal soccer ball, joining an illustrious list that includes Mia Hamm, Cindy Parlow and Christine Sinclair, and is the only one to win in non-consecutive seasons. She was fifth in the nation in goals with 20 and tied for second in points with 55. She led Notre Dame this season to the College Cup final, where she scored just 16 seconds into the match, but Notre Dame lost to North Carolina 2-1. She finished her career tied for second in assists in NCAA history.
